Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Warm honey and butter together in a saucepan over low heat until melted and fragrant, ~3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in brown sugar, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon until combined. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Mix in flour until a stiff dough forms. Knead on a work surface until smooth, ~2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Roll dough between two sheets of parchment paper to 1/4-inch thickness. Chill for 5 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Cut into rectangles (roughly 2×3 inches) and press a fork or embossed stamp into each top for texture.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until edges are firm and tops are glossy.
